Security Services Modules

The Cisco ASA 5500 Series brings a new level of integrated security performance to networks with

its unique AIM services and multiprocessor hardware architecture. This architecture allows

businesses to adapt and extend the high-performance security services profile of the Cisco ASA

5500 Series. Customers can add additional high-performance services using security services

modules with dedicated security co-processors, and can custom-tailor flow-specific policies using

a highly flexible policy framework. This adaptable architecture enables businesses to deploy new

security services when and where they are needed, such as adding the broad range of intrusion

prevention and advanced anti-worm services delivered by the AIP SSM or the comprehensive

malware protection and content security services enabled by the CSC SSM. Further, the

architecture allows Cisco to introduce new services to address new threats, delivering businesses

outstanding investment protection for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series.

Cisco ASA 5500 Series Advanced Inspection and Prevention Module

The Cisco ASA 5500 Series AIP SSM is an inline, network-based solution that accurately

identifies, classifies, and stops malicious traffic before it affects business continuity. It combines

inline prevention services with innovative technologies, resulting in total confidence in the provided

protection of the deployed IPS solution, without the fear of legitimate traffic being dropped. The

AIP SSM also offers comprehensive network protection through its unique ability to collaborate

with other network security resources, providing a proactive approach to protecting the network. It

uses accurate inline prevention technologies that provide unparalleled confidence to take

preventive action on a broader range of threats without the risk of dropping legitimate traffic. These

unique technologies offer intelligent, automated, contextual analysis of data and help ensure that

businesses are getting the most out of their intrusion prevention solutions. Furthermore, the AIP

SSM uses multivector threat identification to protect the network from policy violations, vulnerability

exploitations, and anomalous activity through detailed inspection of traffic in Layers 2 through 7.

Table 9 details the two AIP SSM models that are available, and their respective performance and

physical characteristics.
